in your garden this year? As far as veggies.
Do you draw out your plot or just plant whatever wherever and do you rotate your crops each year?
We probably will only grow some tomatoes and onions and some leaf lettuce. Not much property here and we have way too many flowers...No...WAIT, you can't have too many pretty flowers.
How bout you. What's growing in your garden this year?

Well let's see.....I want potatoes, onions, just a few tomato plants. I'd like a coupla row of zucchini and yellow summer squash. But don't know if I'll get that much. By the end of the growing season here, folks lock their car doors so nobody will leave them a "present" of zucchini. LOL.
I'd like some corn and green beans for sure. I'd like to do a container garden of lettuce. And of course, I want my own lil' kitchen herb garden. Parsley, peppermint (for tea and garnishing that sweet homemade lemonade), chives and thyme.
That's my plan and I'm stickin' to it.

Not sure if I am going to do a garden or not yet this year. I loved going out last year and picking cukes and tomatoes fresh from the vine for dinner, but it was a lot of work for just 2 of us. So I may go back to purchasing at farm stands for what I need for canning. Just haven't made up my mind yet. LOL

It is alot of work. I love herbs too Lynn. At one time at our other home I had 35 herbs. It was fun to pinch and use. And dry of course.
Deed, ya gotta have some maters!

I probably won't get to plant any this year. We are waiting to see if dh is going to be stationed someplace else this summer. Its about that time. So far we haven't heard, but he's not officially back at the office yet either.

I was wondering about it Melody.
I agree with Cara, just stick a couple of tomatoes in, we haven't done much to ours, just put them in with the flowers, same last year and had a lovely feed of fried green tomatoes to try them. A good standby to the bought vegies.
My thyme is growing very well after I copied Karen's herb planters. It has all filled out lovely. The thyme looks pretty in there. Herbs save alot of money because simple and wholesome recipes seem to use them.
